Weak

can you take this disease

it's been ravaging me

took control of my mind

like a hand's grasp on time

met you, and with me

there's no doubt that i see

what is meant to be free

but what is more like a dream

it rids rhythm from design

so the seconds tick slower,

than the minutes they mime

reluctantly i fear

that you might overhear

my illogical beat

which sent streaming the tears

Slumber

wait

i've been here before.

but why is it different?

there is so much to adore.

this bark, it's old.

this grass, it's fresh.

that dandelion died,

ready to grant its wish.

this is a place,

where dreams exist.

where wonders and worries,

all seem to mix.

hide and seek.

tag your it.

i think this pile of leaves

is where i'll sit.

Swim

Out of place.

Out of line.

Since when was it right

for you to decide?

First hide.

Then confide.

Then spread,

the vicious lies.

Conform.

I'm torn.

Wrote rules for peace

provoking the war.

I stood chest-high,

mid-stream I screamed.

A current of tears

washed over me.

Ripped me away

from all my dreams,

pulled me downstream

towards destiny.

Crash

Come in, come in.

commit, commit.

I just can't get over it.

Why is it raining?

it's the wrong time of year.

please stop the car,

please turn around here.

I'm wet, I'm wet.

my cheeks are red

the water, it's cold.

do you remember or regret?

You're blurry, you're blurry.

I cannot see.

it's not worth trying.

I'm starting to bleed.

Just me, just me.

broken glass,

shattered dreams.

Wake up, wake up.

Get up love.

You have no idea,

what I've been dreaming of.

I've Known You All Along

brought forth

to the front of your mind.

you'd spent so much time

trying to leave it behind.

but not this time.

when i pick up a piece

it shatters again.

so many

too many

scattered within me.

i see where you are.

lost in the dark.

and i'd be that light,

but not this time.

there's another beside you.

and you think he's the one,

but he is lost too.

now look what you've done.

you have the map,

i've got the light.

they work better together,

but not this time.

I've Begun To Forget, But I Forgot To Begin.

Hit me while I'm not waiting.

Dive in for me.

Listen closely,

my soul is still breathing.

See the breath,

in the autumn air?

That summer is gone,

and your love's left my skin bare.

A life-like light cradles me now.

Wraps me with warmth,

burns through that cloud.

For the first time in a while

my head's not wet.

It's my cheeks that are ruined,

scarred with regret.

Do I Know You

Open up!

Haven't you heard?

The new man's here,

get down stairs.

Who really cares?

Let go. Just let go.

If you count down now,

you'll just chicken out.

Just do it.

What a slogan.

Could you use it?

What if you're broken?

Good thing I'm not.

Good thing I'm here.

I'm still intact.

Even if I do care.

Listen and learn:

Care for the ones,

that treat you good.

Let go of the ones,

that you think should.

If you want it,

you can get it.

It can be that easy.

Leave me, want me,

find me or lose me.

It all seems,

so simple when,

you take the time,

to look within.

Know what you want dear.

Know who you are.

Know who you want by your side,

when times get hard.
